This is disgusting @Crocs. Go woke, go broke.

Last week, Gov.
Ron DeSantis (R-FL) warned that “any and all actions available” would be taken against venues
allowing minors to attend drag shows, such as “A Drag Queen Christmas,” which features performers seen on RuPaul’s Drag Race reality TV show.
Missouri minors were also recently barred from attending a drag show
held in a suburb outside St. Louis.
